- As Flip said, Bobby McFerrin scored the film for us in a single session
- of improvisation. That's why he has the huge credit at the end of the
- movie for "Original Music". But nobody reads credits...

- ...which brings me to Today's Anecdote. Bobby improvised to a temp version
- of the film which was partially rendered and partially still wireframe. In
- place of the credits, I put in some film that just said "Blah, Blah, Blah".
- On one of the tracks when the temp credits came up he started singing "Blah,
- blah, blah..." as a part of the music, so we re-timed the real credits to
- match his blahs. It is through this convoluted path that I lay claim to
- having written lyrics which Bobby McFerrin sang.
